BNV is thrilled that "The Six Triple Eight" predominantly Black postal battalion is getting its proper recognition through the newly released Netflix film. Please revisit our in-depth profile of Romay Davis, one of the last survivors of the 6888 who died in June. bit.ly/49QAZQg #6888

After a slow week I’ve extended my Random Acts of Kindness week through the holiday. My goal was 9 acts in memory of my late niece - her favorite number was nine. Last night I left an extra generous tip for the waitress. Please join me in extending a little kindness. 🙏🏾🩷
